Treatment for Gestational Diabetes

How Do I Know if I Have Gestational Diabetes?

Women at risk for diabetes should get tested -- preferably before pregnancy, or as soon as they know they are pregnant. Since most birth defects happen within the first three to six weeks after conception, it's important that diabetes be controlled even before you get pregnant.

However, most cases of gestational diabetes develop late in pregnancy and are diagnosed during routine screening tests at 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy.

Although some guidelines suggest that only women at risk for gestational diabetes be screened during pregnancy, it is likely that your health care provider will recommend you have a glucose challenge test between your 24th and 28th week of pregnancy, even if you are not at risk. You'll be given a very sweet drink containing exactly 50 grams of sugar. An hour after you drink this, a blood sample will be tested to determine your blood sugar level.

If your glucose challenge test comes out abnormally high (higher than 130 to 140 mg/dL), you'll be asked to return to the doctor's office for a slightly more involved test, called the glucose tolerance test. For this test, you may be given special dietary instructions to follow for several days before the test. You'll need to fast for 8 to 12 hours before the test. At the time of the test, you'll first have your blood tested to determine your fasting blood sugar level. Then you'll be given a drink containing exactly 100 grams of glucose. Your blood sugar will be tested one, two, and three hours later. The diagnosis of gestational diabetes is made if two or more values are abnormally elevated.

Treatment of Gestational Diabetes

If you have gestational diabetes, it's best if you consult a dietician to help you design a practical and logical diet chart- one that will deal with the gestational diabetes but still provides your emergent baby with adequate calories and nutrients. In addition to adjusting your diet, rational exercise (approved by your health care provider) four to five times a week also helps the body use insulin more resourcefully, which helps control blood sugar levels.

Your dietician will counsel the number of total daily calories appropriate for a woman your height and weight. About 2,200 to 2,500 calories per day is usually recommended for women of average weight. Obese women may be asked to stick to diets of about 1,800 calories per day.

Your dietician will instruct you how to balance your diet, possibly signifying that about 10% to 20% of your calories come from protein sources (meats, cheeses, eggs, seafood, and legumes); less than 30% of your calories come from fats (with less than 10% of those from saturated fats); and the rest of your calories should be from carbohydrate resources (breads, cereals, pasta, rice, fruits, and vegetables).

To make sure the dietary adjustments and/or exercise are working properly for you, your blood sugar level may be tested regularly, before and/or two hours after meals, at your health care provider's office or you may be taught to monitor your own blood sugar at home with a simple machine called a glucometer.

If your blood sugar levels remain elevated despite a special diet, you may be asked to give yourself insulin injections. Few women with gestational diabetes (about 10%) have to use insulin, though. Pregnant women are not able to take pills to control blood sugar due to the potential effects on the foetus.

Depending on how well the diabetes is controlled and how your pregnancy is progressing, your health care provider may monitor your baby more closely during the last weeks or months before your due date with ultrasounds, non-stress testing, and/or foetal movements charting. If the baby appears to be growing very large, you may be given an ultrasound test to try to verify your baby's size.

While most women with gestational diabetes are able to have a normal labour and vaginal delivery, some health care providers prefer to deliver the baby earlier than the due date or may even suggest a caesarean section if the baby becomes too large. This is an area of some controversy.

After delivery, your health care provider will check to make sure that your blood sugar levels have returned to normal. You'll need to have this rechecked about six weeks after delivery, and then at least every three years after that and some recommend annually.
